The first two weeks decide the fish

Goldfish and koi fry take their first food a few days after hatching, and at that size very little will fit. Newly hatched Artemia nauplii are the standard answer because they are small enough to swallow whole and keep moving, which is what triggers a fry to strike at all.

Not every setup wants a hatching station running. Decapsulated cysts are fed straight from the tin with no incubation and no shells in the water, and cultured green water gives a fry tank something to graze between feeds. Pack sizes run from a shelf tin to a bulk case, so one breeding room orders as easily as a public aquarium.

What to feed, and when

Yes. Both standard and decapsulated Artemia cysts are available in shelf-stable 500 g and 1 kg vacuum-sealed cans intended for retail sale, so a shop can stock the format its customers hatch themselves and the ready-to-feed format side by side.For aquariums & retailers

Standard shell-on cysts if you want live swimming nauplii and have the hatching setup — aeration, light and salinity control for a full day. Decapsulated cysts if you want to feed directly: they are shell-free and analyse at 61.0 % protein, 24.5 % lipid and 502 kcal/100 g against 45–52 % protein and 10–14 % lipid for standard cysts, because no energy has been spent on hatching.Compare both formats

No. The shell is removed and the remaining embryonic membrane is fully digestible, so they are rehydrated and fed directly — 0 % shell contamination and no 24-hour hatching cycle. That makes them a practical fallback when hatching capacity is the bottleneck, and a clean option for systems where shell debris is a problem.

Revive Artemia cysts are supplied against a guaranteed ≥ 85 % hatch rate, verified by batch testing. That figure assumes the incubation conditions the product is specified for — 25–35 ppt salinity, 28–30 °C, strong aeration and continuous light. Hatching outside that band will underperform the guarantee for reasons that have nothing to do with the cysts.Incubation guide

Cool, dry and sealed. Vacuum-packed cans hold their hatch quality without refrigeration, which is exactly why the format is used for long-haul supply. Once a can is opened, keep it airtight and dry — moisture and repeated air exposure, not time on the shelf, are what degrade hatchability.

For distributors and retail chains ordering at volume, yes — custom can labelling and carton configurations are quoted case by case. Tell us the format and annual volume you are planning at quotation stage; below a certain run length private label costs more than it returns, and we will say so.

VARS is a B2B supplier: hatcheries, grow-out farms, feed mills, distributors, retail chains and HORECA buyers. Aquarium retailers, breeders and clubs are welcome as trade customers, and our retail-format Artemia cans are made for exactly that channel, but we do not take single-unit consumer orders.
